The port of Makhachkala caught fire after a UAV attack.

Authorities did not record any casualties or injuries after the drone attack on the capital of Dagestan.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on the night of September 9, during a drone attack on Novorossiysk, four people were killed, including a child, and another 29 were injured. According to the Ministry of Health, 28 people were hospitalized, including two children. As a result of the attack, residential buildings, a clinic, businesses, and educational institutions were damaged.

The port infrastructure and theater caught fire in Makhachkala after the drone attack. "As a result of the falling fragments (of drones), fires occurred at the port infrastructure in Makhachkala and at the Avar Musical and Dramatic Theater named after Gamzat Tsadasa," wrote the head of Dagestan, Fyodor Shchukin, in his Telegram channel.

The fires were extinguished, and there were no casualties or injuries, the official added.

In October 2025, a decree by the head of Dagestan prohibited media outlets and internet users from publishing information about the consequences of terrorist acts and diversions, the arrival of Ukrainian drones, and the placement of military and "critically important" facilities (bridges, energy, communication, and industrial facilities) in Dagestan. The decree contradicts the media law, and it does not provide a list of "critically important" facilities, which increases the risks of arbitrary interpretation of the document by law enforcement, lawyers noted.

Let us remind you that in December 2025, a 12-year-old girl who sustained minor injuries during a drone attack in Kaspiysk was hospitalized in a Makhachkala hospital.
